| 2023-03-18 |
| [KhaamaPress] New Zealand has announced that TikTok will be banned on devices linked to the country’s parliament network due to cyber security concerns, becoming the latest nation to join the US and the UK. New Zealand Parliamentary Service Chief Executive Rafael Gonzalez-Montero said the decision has been made in consultation with cyber security experts to avoid any potential threats from the Chinese company in accessing users’ location, contact, and data. The United Kingdom banned to use of TikTok, the video-sharing platform in government institutions effective from Thursday, March 16, 2023. Concerns have mounted globally about the potential for the Chinese government to access users’ location and contact data through ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese parent company.
